NiFe Battery Kit

Nickel-Iron Battery kit

Electrolyte (KOH und LiOH), combiners, meters, tools. In order to prepare the electrolyte, demineralised water has to be purchased (in super markets available).

Select 10 battery cells for a 12V-System, 20 cells for a 24V-System, and 40 cells for a 48V-System

In most cases an inverter will convert the DC output of the battery to 230 or 120V AC. The inverter needs a wide input range (19 to 35V in a 24V-system) which is provided by many inverters. Studer XT (36V max) and Outback FXR (35V max) are working well with NiFe-batteries.

In case you will take a 3 kW inverter such as Studer XTM or Outback FXR regard 24V/400Ah or 48V/200Ah as the minimum. This will support the high currents, prevents the inverter of early shut downs and stocks some 10 kWh of energy. Capacity values are given in 5 hour discharge rates (C5).

Manufacturer is either Changhong or Taihang, there are only minor differences between the two brands.
